Ever since they first announced this long-overdue adaptation of BLAME!, I've been very skeptical. From reading the manga, it definitely falls within the same realm as old-school SF such as Ray Bradbury and Philip K. Dick, and from my experience, it seems that successful adaptations of those types of books do not exist.

I've been considering watching it on Netflix when it comes out, and I do not want to be disappointed, both as a Nihei fan and a Hard SF fan.
